Internal    Input     End       Field     Field                 Field

GLGLC           193       196         4   G/L Offset . . . . .    A


Note that the Field Length here equals buffer length. So for Packed numerics, don't confuse this with the number of Digits which is field WHFLDD in the Outfile.
